I've only heard three of those songs. I picked Wouldn't It Be Good? but I also like The Riddle.

I haven't heard of this person.

He only had 1 hit in America with the almost Top 40 Wouldn't it Be Good

I updated the poll, and amended the first post with a chart discography for the UK and North America :)

Wouldn't It Be Good

I thought that video was pretty decent for the year that it came out. Does anyone know what the reason was for the outfit that he was wearing with the images on it?

Interesting you ask this I just bought his greatest hits album last week (although it was actually intended for my mom but I listen to it as well lol).

Have to say "I wont let the sun go down on me" is my favourite. "The Riddle" and "Wouldn't be Good" are just as good. I also like Don Quixote as well.

It's a shame Nik didn't quite catch on over here. I found my cassette copies of 'Human RAcing', 'The Riddle' and 'Radio Musicola' the other day and was listening to them. I forgot how much I loved 'Nobody Knows'

Seems like he didn't do so well over here (US) either, lol. :-\\ Still, "Wouldn't It Be Good" is the only song of his that I know, and apparently the only one that even touched the US charts.

And the odd thing is that in the States, I've seen alot of people reference it as from 'Pretty in Pink.

The one heard in that movie (and on the soundtrack) is a cover version by ex-Three Dog Night singer Danny Hutton and his band the Danny Hutton Hitters.

Nobody Knows is now my favorite.

It's quite surprising too. Kershaw was as mainstream as Duran Duran, Wham!, Human League and Thompson Twins who successfully invaded the US in the early 80s.

I really liked Wouldn't It Be Good. The end of the video with the satellite dish is so nice.
